6 posts | 6 read | 7 to read
This is the powerful, deeply personal story of Vietnam's war against Americans as lived from the inside by North Vietnamese soldiers and villagers on the front lines. Vietnamese dissident Duong Thu Huong bears personal witness to the horror and spiritual weariness of ten years of war that claimed millions of Vietnamese lives.

Novel Without a Name | Thu Huong Duong

Trying to finish my 2nd book for #foodandlit before #Vietnam ends today but I don‘t think I‘m going to be able to keep my eyes open after the past three night shifts (and one more tonight) 🧟‍♀️🌑🚑🚔. Not as good as “ Paradise of the Blind” but still interesting.

This book was amazing! It wasn't a really quick read because it was much more about the characters and scene setting rather than plot driven. Normally I don't go for that kind of book but this one was so good! This follows one north Vietnamese soldier through the battles he fights and his trip back home for a short leave. To quote from the jacket Huong (the author) "powerfully conveys the conflict that spiritually destroyed her generation."

A novel about Vietnam from the perspective of a 28 year old who joined what he saw (ten years prior) as the great cause of the Communists. I love books about less familiar (to American) perspectives & this book does not hold back. Not about battles but people being defeated by ideologies. SO GOOD.
